Introduction
General
The MME (Memex Memory Engine) is a Static RAM based memory board, designed to replace the old BMU (Bubble Memory Unit) found in Fanuc Series 6, 9, 11 and 12 machine tool controls. Our leading edge technology has enabled us to create a high speed, low power
alternative to conventional Fanuc memory. Besides being a memory replacement the MME has a unique feature called “QUICK-LOAD”. This allows the various parameters stored in the original BMU to be automatically transferred to the MME via a special BMU socket on the side. With the BMU “piggy-backed” onto the installed MME, all NC and PC parameters can be transferred by just powering on the control normally. Generally, the “QUICKLOAD” feature installs the MME board easily with very little downtime – that said, still perform a backup of parameters and key macro programs. Once the new MME has been proven (all parameters checked and the machine functionally tested), the “PARAMETER SENTRY” (PS) system can be used to backup the verified parameter settings. This useful feature will keep a copy of the machine’s critical parameters in a special on-board, non-volatile, memory location for safekeeping.
Finally, the battery backup system is unique in that the battery is continuously conditioned and recharged when the power is on. New Lithium rechargeable technology has been implemented to keep your data safe for more than 10 years.

The Basics
Using the Parameter Sentry System
The MME’s Parameter Sentry System is unique and simple to use. The system offers protection of the first 20 meters (8K) of memory, thus protecting all of your NC system parameters, PC parameters, Tool Offset data, Pitch Error Compensation data and System data. Note that part programs are not included. The HSL saves the bottom 1280 meters (512k). All of these parameters are stored in Non-Volatile SRAM (NVSRAM). This memory is Non-Volatile meaning that it does not require a backup power source of any kind and is a relatively permanent and a convenient form of storing your critical control parameters.
To use the Parameter Sentry System, power on your Fanuc control and bring the CRT to the Position screen. Open the control cabinet with the Fanuc control. Make sure that the power remains ON when you open the door to the cabinet. While holding the toggle switch at the bottom of the Memex MME board toward the “SAVE” position, momentarily PUSH the “PARAM SENTRY” button, and then release the toggle switch. You should notice the LED adjacent to the toggle switch light up for approximately one second. This will save your Fanuc system parameters in the NOVRAM.
To RESTORE your parameters, reverse the above procedure. Make sure that your Fanuc CNC is turned on and that you have access to the Memex MME. While holding the toggle switch toward “RESTORE”, momentarily PUSH the “PARAM SENTRY” button, then release the toggle switch. Again, you should notice the “Restore” LED light up for one second. Power off your control, then power on again for the saved parameters to take effect.
If an error relating to part programs occurs at this point after powering on the control, you may also need to Delete All Part Programs by powering on the control while holding the
DELET & RESET keys.

Installation Considerations The installation of the MME should be conducted with care. Never install or remove a board with the control power on (the main power can be on, but not the control). Take care with the handling of the MME and BMU, as they are static sensitive. Keep the boards in the anti-static bags provided. Take care not to place the circuit boards on a metal surface as the backup battery could suffer damage if shorted. Do not place the MME in any other slot on the Fanuc master-board, other than the one, labeled BMU. Do not force, drop or otherwise mishandle the boards during the installation procedure. Always check the functionality of the machine at the end of the installation (i.e. move the axes, perform a tool change, run a program, etc.).
Backup Critical Parameters Although the MME has the ability to transfer the relevant NC parameters, it is a good idea to make a manual backup of all information in the BMU before proceeding (if possible). The MME will contain no useful information when shipped, and as such the following data must be reloaded: NC parameters, PC parameters, tool offsets, part programs, macro variables and names (if applicable), etc. Follow your Fanuc manual for the appropriate procedure.
Verify Your Control Once the MME has been installed either manually or by the Quick-Load method, satisfy yourself that the control is working properly and that all of your parameters have been restored. Test the machine by the following procedure through either MDI or program:
Home all axes, tool-changers and pallets.
Check spindle functionality through all speeds and gear ranges.
Check also Clockwise and Counter-clockwise rotation with M3 and M4 commands.
Check the tool changer. Be sure that the tool you received was the tool requested and that the carousel rotates in the proper direction.
Check the pallet changer (if applicable). If your machine requires special custom macros for a pallet changer or tool changer, be sure that they have been loaded.
Once your machine has been proven with the MME, you have successfully upgraded your control.

Backup Your Control
Before starting the installation, power on the control and verify that the machine tool is in good working order. If the control has a system error, or the BMU is inoperable, you will have to replace your memory board with the MME, and restore the information from existing backup sources.
Backup the following BMU memory contents: NC parameters, PC Parameters (if parameter 3.7 = 1), Tool Offsets, Pitch Error Compensation, and Part Programs (if applicable). All of this information is contained in the Bubble Memory Unit (BMU) and must be restored; therefore all of this information must either be written down or punched out of the control via the RS-232 serial port. Use the “Fanuc System 6 Machine Parameter Worksheet” provided at the end of this document to record the important parameter data. Use the following procedures to save the data on a computer. If in doubt, consult your Fanuc manuals, as they are your ultimate authority on your particular version of control.
1. Set up your computer to receive data through its COM port and connect it to your Fanuc control. Set the communication parameters on your PC for 7 data bits, and the stop bits and baud rate as determined by the applicable parameters for your control. Please refer to the “Fanuc 6 Technical Summary” at the end of this document for the appropriate parameters.

7. Power on the control. It should start-up normally with the original BMU in
control. During this process parameter data is being relocated to the appropriate memory areas in the MME. To ensure a complete transfer, view the parameter screen, tool offset screen, part program screen,…etc. If it all looks normal, release the E-STOP button.
8. Power off the control and carefully remove the BMU. Set the BMU aside in
the anti-static bag provided.
9. Power the control and check the functionality of the machine at this point. Re-Zero the axes, test the spindle, test the tool changing mechanism (be sure you get the tool you request and that it goes into the correct pocket), check out any pallet changers and other peripherals.
Caution: Keep your rapid and feed rate overrides low. The machine may not behave the way you might expect it to. If abnormalities in the operation are noticed, check all of the system parameters in case they may not have been properly restored by the Quick-Load (if so go to step 14).
10. Initiate a Parameter Sentry “SAVE” operation to save your parameters to non-volatile memory. It is best to do this when there are no part programs present as the directory that is saved should be clear of entries. (Note that powering on in IPL mode and clearing files “3 INPUT”, then “7input” is needed)
11. Test your machine thoroughly. You can proceed to the section of this manual entitled “Verify Your Control” for assistance.
You are done…

Manual Installation Procedures for Fanuc 11/12
Time Needed: 2 hours (approx.) Tools Needed: 1 Philips Screwdriver Components: 1 MME memory board Controls: Fanuc 11A, 11B and 12 Before starting the installation, power on the control and verify that the machine tool is in good working order.
Make sure that you have a current backup of the NC parameters, Tool Offsets, Pitch Error Compensation, and Part Programs. For instructions on downloading your control’s information, refer to previous section entitled “Backup Your Control”.
1. Inspect the Memex Memory Engine (MME) for any damage during shipping. Also check that the “CNC Type” jumpers have been set to either the Fanuc 11 or 12 (depending on control type).
2. With the Fanuc control powered off and the Emergency Stop (E-STOP)
button depressed, gain access to the main masterboard. Find the Bubble Memory Unit (BMU) board on the right-hand side of the masterboard, and carefully remove it with a Philips screw driver. Carefully place the BMU in the anti-static box supplied, and set it aside.
3. Install the MME in the slot where the BMU was removed once again using
the Philips screwdriver.
4. With the 7 + 9 keys depressed on the front MDI panel, power on the
control. This action will cause the control to start-up and immediately
clear the entire memory of the MME. If the control will not power on at this point, check that the cabinet door interlock is bypassed. When the control powers on, it will eventually show the IPL Screen.
5. At the prompt, you will enter 9 9 then INPUT . Use the input
button to the right of the MDI keypad.
6. Press Y to initialize the system label.
Important!
CAUTION!
Install the MME
memory.
Remove the
Bubble memory

7. Enter the number you wrote down from parameter 9000 on the parameter sheet, for the No. of Axes. Beginning with parameter 9100, enter the HEX value of each parameter for the option numbers that need to be entered. If you incorrectly enter a number at this point, you will have to press INPUT through the remaining Options, then go back and begin the process again.
8. When you reach the end press Y to clear the files.
9. Go back to the IPL menu and press 6 to End IPL. If you should get any
alarm in the 900’s, call our toll free tech support line.
10. Locate the Parameter Write Enable (PWE), parameter 8000 in the Settings (service) Screen, and change it to a 1 to enable PWE in MDI mode.
11. Now serially reload the remaining parameters or if need be re-enter these by hand from your parameter tape, list, or backup.
12. Once the NC parameters are reloaded, power off the control then power it on again. Turn on the PWE parameter again (8000), then press the NC/PC button and reload all of the PC parameters. When you are confident that all of the parameters are correct, turn off the power.
13. Power on the control and release the E-Stop. The control should start-up normally. Check the functionality of the machine at this point. Re-zero the axes, test the spindle, test the tool changing mechanism, check out any pallet changers and any peripherals.
14. Once the machine has been proven, now would be a good time to do a Parameter Sentry save. This will save a backup copy of all your critical machine parameters. Refer to the Using the parameter Sentry System sheet for more detailed instructions.
15. Now reload your Programs and Tool Offset data, your control should be fully operational, with the enhanced performance of the MME.
